How Vint
Makes Money
Unlike most alternative investing platforms, Vint doesn’t charge an annual management fee or take a commission of future profits.
Vint takes a one-time sourcing fee instead—which is baked into the share price of each collection. This sourcing fee, in turn, covers the cost of storing and insuring your wine collection.
The company also reserves 0.5% and 10% of each collection for itself, which means their interests are aligned with investors to maximize returns.

Gains from buying and selling wine are subject to collectibles taxes in the United States. Vint provides investors with a 1099-DIV form at the end of each tax year. However, investors are not expected to generate taxable income until one of their collections is sold at a profit.
